A British autonomous driving specialist is to deploy a fleet of test vehicles near the city of Stuttgart in Germany.

Start-up company Wayve says this is part of its plans to establish a test and development hub to prove its self-driving technology, Reuters reports.

The company focuses on using artificial intelligence to run its platform that can learn and adapt its capabilities based on human driving behaviors, enhancing automated driving features such as driver lane change assistance.

Wayve has been creating financial waves since Uber invested an undisclosed amount into the company last summer after SoftBank led a funding round exceeding $1 billion, also backed by Nvidia.

The company, founded in 2017, currently operates in the U.K and the U.S. and is looking to create a European R&D hub in Germany, the continent's largest automotive market.

Automated driving has found a safe haven in advanced driver-assistance systems supplied to automakers, although many industry experts believe it remains a long way from being a safe and dependable technology for full Level 5 driverless operations especially in Europe’s congested and narrow city streets.

So far, Wayve has prototyped its technology on six vehicle platforms, including electric models like the Jaguar I-Pace and the Ford Mustang Mach-E.
